VThe nature of my invention consists in providing said smoothing-iron stand with nn elevated rim or guard, A, as seen in tig.. 1, extending round the sides, and a. back rim or guard, B, which said rims A and`B serve to prevent the smoothing-iron from slipping or falling from said ironingy stand. The rim or guard B (as seen in g. 2) is made lower than guard A, in order to facilitate more readily vthe insertion of the smoothing-iron within said stand; and my invention consists, further, in the application to said smoothing-iron stand of :i clamp, C, and a, thumb-screw, D, attached thereto, and both of which are illustrated in fig. 2, and by means of which said clamp and screw seid iron-stand may be irmly secured to the edge of e table or shelf.V
